Why is drudge ignoring this? Doesn't make sense!
If the American people knew there potentially was an international crisis going on involving the possibility of nuclear war, the situation would get even worse for the Republicans who have shut down the government. It's not good to have World War III brewing while the government is shut down.

Obviously we are looking weak enough for Baby Boy Un to threaten again. He won't be the only one to do it if we keep going the way we are. We can not handle ourselves at this moment...let alone an invasion. If anyone thinks that there IS NOT ONE SOUL/COUNTRY just waiting for an opportunity they are bat shiite crazy IMO. We look like a hot mess right now and somebody will be more than willing to help "clean up". If it's not Un, we still have a line behind him.edit on 10/7/2013 by Kangaruex4Ewe because: (no reason given)

The replies on this thread are hilarious. S. Korea is one of the worlds largest economies and one of Americas best allies. America would decimate N. Korea faster than you can say Iraq and they would most likely be absorbed by S. Korea. N. Korea doesn't even have food as it is to feed their army much less mobilize them. It would be a huge win for the world and humanity if N. Korean leaders made the mistake of engaging America.
The replies on this thread shows you how delusional some people really are, take a look at the world maps lit up at night N. Korea is a black hole. Everybody is home but that lights aren't on.
Its not the same situation where there would be senseless religious extremist fighting. Its not an unstable region.
Its amazing how many people on here believe they are always ONE month away from being in a FEMA camp. When N. Korea really does have millions in these types of camps. They would rather believe in some delusional fantasy that would pertain to them than have any kind of empathy for others who are living in horrific conditions.
1. Most of the world could learn something from NK in regards to the lights. Yes their reasons for no lights is because of energy shortages, but that has forced them into conservation which is what the rest of should be doing voluntarily. It sickens me to walk down the streets of our cities (which I have done all over the country) and see every damned light on in a house/building with nobody around.
2. Don't be so sure that NK would be a cake walk to deal with militarily. They may, or may not have the technological advancements but they do have a very large, very loyal, very brainwashed Army full of hardliners that'll fight to the bitter end. Their contemporary and historical culture is steeped in national/racial pride and they have always fought even when there is no hope. And they've been conditioned to believe that one day the evil outside world would come after them, so they expect it at some point anyway. The entire country is loaded with landmines, their waters loaded with mines, and who knows what other anti-invasion preps they've implemented. Point being it would be slow moving, bloody and last waaay longer than most expect. Then of course, they have nukes and in desperation the hardline military leaders just might push the button rather than give up their power.
Perfect exqmples of delusions.
1. The world should be just like N. Korea and a very elite few should be the only ones with power as in electricity. Isn't this number one fear of conspiracists?
B. So no one was around at night when all these lights were on? Oh wait except for you, who apparently loves to walk around at night and probably benefits from the ability to see because lights are on.
2. They don't have any resources as I have already pointed out in my first post. What little infrastructure they do have would be obliterated by air strikes in the blink of an eye. They would be completely cutoff from any outside aid whatsoever if they engaged America or S. Korea. They don't have any natural resources, or FOOD or infrastructure.
Because they have a terrible Regime that doesn't mind starving and brainwashing their citizens if you can call them that to stay in power.

All they need is for an attack on the US homeland (they have created that window by stopping inspections of cargo, and border patrol), FF or provoked to turn NK into a parking lot. Without nukes and communications NK will be managed easily enough by the South Koreans. How far will it spread?

North Korea has 2.5 million troops massed along the DMZ, Its estimated they have enough food and ammunition stored there to sustain that force for 6 months. On top of that they have an estimated 15,000 rocket and artillery pieces trained on Soul, enough to level the city within hours. Its not as clear cut as you think.edit on 8-10-2013 by auraelium because: (no reason given)
There must be a pipeline involved.
our navy is there, again we are in a shut down , one way to end it is to have a war. Un is the perfect player to fall for a "push his buttons" game.
troops dug in on both sides of the 38th parallel and regularly traded shots. On June 25, 1950 the North Korean army crossed the 38th parallel in a full-scale invasion, destroying or pushing back any resistance in its path.
